After baring her back in Vanity Fair, dancing on a stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards, grinding on her adult male director, simulating a girl-on-girl kiss on "Britain's Got Talent," and showing up barely dressed to the MuchMusic Video Awards ... 17-year-old Miley Cyrus still managed to shock people with her racy new video, "Who Owns My Heart?"

The backlash over Miley Cyrus' new body-grinding, panty-sporting, sexed up music video has already begun -- with a powerful parents organization ripping Miley for turning her back on young fans.The video in question is "Who Owns My Heart?" -- in which a blindfolded Miley (who's still 17-years-old BTW) can be seen writhing around on a bed in her underwear ... before entering some other sexually charged situations.

Now, Tim Winter -- President of the Parents Television Council -- tells TMZ, "It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one."

Winter continues, "It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly.

Miley Cyrus goes to a party in the music video for “Who Owns My Heart,” the second single from her Can’t Be Tamed album.

The 17-year-old singer told MTV that the song is about “freeing yourself from anything you think is holding you back.”

Miley further explained, “And I think that’s really important, especially for girls, because so many people are told, ‘No, you can’t do something,’ or, ‘You need to be this because Mom and Dad say that, teachers say this.’”

Last weekend on Saturday Night Live, Miley was hilariously spoofed by show newcomer Vanessa Bayer.

Miley Cyrus dined with some rather mature friends at the new Greek restaurant Xandros last night, and the 17-year-old pop princess showed off some serious leg when we snapped her leaving. Of course, this is nothing compared to her brand new music video!

Now that Miley is inching closer and closer to her 18th birthday, is all chaos going to break loose on November 23 when she's no longer considered a child anymore? She still won't be a legal adult, but seeing as she's already gotten into one of the hottest nightclubs in Hollywood, obviously that's not going to be an issue for her!

She may sing otherwise, but the Parents Television Council is begging for Miley Cyrus to be tamed.

In a statement obtained by TMZ.com, Council president Tim Winter slams the 17-year-old for sending the wrong message in her "sexualized" new video.

In the clip, a pantless Cyrus gyrates on her bed while primping for a night on the town. Once she arrives at a nightclub, the teen singer caresses her chest while she gropes older men on the dance floor.

According to an Oct. 8 poll, more than 75% of UsMagazine.com readers said Cyrus -- who also came under fire for a 2009 Teen Choice Awards performance where she pole danced -- was too raunchy. Watch the video.

"It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one. It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point," agrees Winter. "Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly."

Turns out, THG isn't the only one to have a major problem with Miley Cyrus.

Following the release of the singer's video for "Who Owns My Heart," which includes the 17-year writhing around in bed, blindfolded, the Parents Television Council has released the following statement:

Miley Cyrus' new video for her song, "Who Owns My Heart?," is out -- and you'd think she had filmed herself stripping or simulating sex or doing heroin or something. It seems that many are upset according to the Hollywood Gossip and other media outlets, over the 17-year-old's provocative look, her sexually suggestive scenes on a bed, her wearing of a blindfold, her skimpy attire. But is there really anything wrong with "Who Owns My Heart?"?

One would think that Miley Cyrus had prepared the world for her sexual coming-of-age long before the new video. In fact, one might think she was sending a message in the first single -- and video -- and title track released from her latest album, "Can't Be Tamed." Instead, most seem to have forgotten that the young megastar is nearly 18 years old and has been attempting to act older than her years for ... well, years.

Miley Cyrus has posed in topless pictures for Vanity Fair, tangoed with a stripper pole at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, was caught on video grinding with producer/director/So You Think You Can Dance judge Adam Shankman, and simulating a very Madonna-like girl-on-girl kiss on Britain's Got Talent. And that is just a few of the things she's done that has been considered scandalous.

And all of those actions caused mini controversies -- except the Vanity Fair pictures, which caused a major controversy. Too revealing, some said (one picture showed the then 16-year-old topless, a sheet pulled up to cover her front, her back bare). Much ado about nothing, others claimed.

Miley Cyrus has been way too young, growing up too fast, and betraying her fans -- predominantly little girls and tweens -- since she was an early teen herself -- or so her critics say. Some, however, believe that the young singing star has carefully orchestrated her every move, her "scandals" all just part of a marketing blueprint that seems modeled after the very successful career of Britney Spears.

At least she stopped apologizing for her more controversial "scandals"...

If you're a Miley Cyrus fan, then at this point you have already had the opportunity to check out the video for "Who Owns My Heart," which features the "Hannah Montana" star sliding around in a bed in very little clothing while later hitting a club for some bumping-and-grinding.Parental groups are already blasting the video, while some of Miley's hardcore fans are of course standing behind it. Once we really look at the content, though, one message shines through -- Miley is trying extremely hard to be the next Britney Spears. Like Britney was when she 17 and releasing "...Baby One More Time," Miley is obviously trying trying to stir the pot by showing more skin than most teenagers who are in show business.

However, there is also one substantial difference between Miley and Britney. Even though the latter was known before thanks her role in the "Mickey Mouse Club" revival, she was not nearly the household name (or the role model) that Miley is at this point of her career. People know Britney Spears for dressing as a schoolgirl -- they know Miley Cyrus for wearing a blonde wig and starring on a family-friendly sitcome.

There comes a time in every pop princess' career when she must throw a sexy dance party and proclaim her womanhood. Back in 2001 Britney Spears did as much in "Slave 4 U," and this week, Miley Cyrus is doing the same in the video for her club-ready track "Who Owns My Heart."

Cyrus proclaimed her independence on "Can't Be Tamed," and now she's declaring her vamped-up party girl status. Cyrus, who will formally hit adulthood when she turns 18 next month, opens the video lying on a bed in hot pants, a tank top and a mask. She awakens from her disco nap to primp for her night out, but much like the crew from the "Jersey Shore," Cyrus has multiple costume changes before she actually dons her real party gear.

As she applies lipstick and mascara, she's ghetto fab chic in a fishnet hair wrap, rollers, heavy metal jewelry and more skimpy attire. As the beat pulses, Cyrus is in the backseat of a limo, singing about wondering whether she loves the guy she's dancing with or if the music just makes her feel that way. She pulls up to a posh house party, full of revelers who don't really seem to be concerning themselves with love and romance.

At the party, when she's not chilling out in the mansion's study, or writhing on a big, wooden table, she's on the dance floor grinding up against others. The video ends with Cyrus back in her fancy bedroom, once again waking up, perhaps ready for another night of dancing.

The single is from her latest album, Can't Be Tamed, which Cyrus said is all about girls empowering themselves. "It's just about freeing yourself from anything you think is holding you back," she explained to MTV News in June. "And I think that's really important, especially for girls, because so many people are told, 'No, you can't do something,' or, 'You need to be this because Mom and Dad say that, teachers say this.' "

Miley Cyrus 'Who Owns My Heart' Video Blasted By Parents Television Council'It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one,' group president says.

Miley Cyrus' new single, "Who Owns My Heart," may question who the pop star's latest boy toy is but the video certainly declares that the teen singer is embracing a sexier persona. However, some believe the 17-year-old singer's racy image is damaging to her legions of young fans.

In the clip, a scantily-clad Cyrus gets dolled up in her room and shows a lot of leg while grooving in the backseat of a car on her way to a rager at a mansion. The teen starlet then spends most of the video dancing in tiny shorts, a revealing halter, big hair and heels and partying until the wee hours.

Tim Winter, who serves as president of the Parents Television Council, told TMZ that the "Hannah Montana" star's sexed-up clip relays the wrong message to her teen following.

"It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one," Winter said. "It sends messages to her fanbase that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fanbase so rapidly."

This isn't the first time the Disney star has faced controversy in her attempts to break away from her squeaky-clean, teen idol status. Her pole-dancing move at the at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards grabbed headlines and her latest LP, Can't Be Tamed, features a much more vampy persona than her "Hannah Montana" alter ego.

"I'm a completely different person [than when I released 2008's Breakout]. I'm much more confident. You know, I've always been a confident person, but I was going through a lot then," Cyrus told MTV News in June. "There's so many people in your life telling you who you should and shouldn't be," Cyrus said. "And that's what Tamed [is] about. It's about being who you are to the fullest. And now I know who that is."

The group has also recently slammed the Britney/Brittany "Glee" episode.
